A REVIEW ON TECOMA STANS JUSS PLANT
AbstractMany medicinal plants have been said to be protective against insect damage without any scientific proof that they posses’ insecticidal activity. This study was aimed to establish the pharmacognostic profile and insecticidal activity of leaves of Tecoma stans juss (Bignoniaceae) to confirm its traditional application and justify continuous usage. Tecoma stans is a popular ornamental plant mostly found in tropical regions. The presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic content, indoles (tryptophan, tryptamine), terpenoid, in raw leaf of the plant was observed. We underscore the therapeutic promise of the plant and suggest future research paths, such as conducting clinical trials and exploring pharmacokinetics. Through a comprehensive analysis of Tecoma stans properties and applications, this review aims to aid in the development of innovative plant-derived therapeutics. The crude extract and fractions produced anthelmenthic, anti oxidant, anti – inflammatory, anti-diabetic, wound healing property, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, hepatoprotective, anti-urolithic, anti-cancer activities. This review represents a scientific understanding of clinical correlations and application of phyto-compounds from T. stans in combating and alleviating various health complaints and disorders.
